Simplicity at its finest....complexity at its finest....all in one poem. That is a neat trick and only the good writers can do it.

Well done Made! Have a wonderful weekend!

billybuc, these were just my thoughts after a nice evening with some old and new friends. I'm sure I'll have a great weekend. Tomorrow me and my family is going on a small trip to meet some old friends we haven't seen for a year and we'll meet a little baby girl for the first time. I'm really looking forward to this. Take care and go out and have some fresh air between your lines! :)

Mhatter99, I appreciate you stopping by again. Thanks!

tillsontitan, I liked sharing this innocent secret with you. :)

Made 4 years ago from Finland Author

jonmcclusk, it is a little sad, but on the other hand it's a nice feeling if you already have someone else you love.

Made - how beautiful and poignant. I once met a guy that I liked - it was an evening out with friends and I met him. But I knew it would be nothing more than a spark of interest after that night because we lived worlds apart. Your poem brought me back to that moment exactly. Thanks for sharing!

....well I can't keep this secret safe from my heart so I must tell you this is a wonderful title and your words of pure poetry were 'made' to win me over ......and they certainly did ......and always do - lake erie time ontario canada 5:26pm

epi, I'm glad you told me your secret. Thanks! :) I recently woke up to a warm day after a night with thunder and heavy rain.

epigramman 4 years ago

.....my thunder and rain was the other night - back to the warmth and sunshine but it's currently 4:07am and just waking up after oversleeping from a nap around 10pm -lol and listen to Led Zepplin's Physical Graffiti album - loud - with a beer and some Hub browsing - the advantages of living out in the country by the lake -

Made 4 years ago from Finland Author

That was one looong nap. My whole family slept too long this morning. We'll have our breakfast in the middle of the day. We have a warm day today - warm measured in the Finnish temperatures. Lol! Enjoy your beer, the music and the morning by the lake. I hope the sun will shine on you to today. :)

.....the sun always shines on me - when we get together in the comment section ....and yes the daybreak is around 6am here with full sun by 7am - and I love watching the daybreak over the lake and the sun coming up too - it is so life affirming .....

I gotta find out that secret from your heart...even if I have to learn Finnish....I guess! JOKES ASIDE, this inspiration touches home. We can relate to the deepness. Wonderfully intertwined with feelings from deep within..!

Made 4 years ago from Finland Author

lord de cross, don't worry - you only have to learn Swedish, because that's my mother tongue. Swedish is related to English, but Finnish is a whole other language. I'm not even sure you can reach my heart with just talking, lol!

Yes, these connections are real, and lead to fits of fantasy. I have them myself also. More so when I was younger. Sometimes sad when the interaction ends, and real life begins. But still exciting. Thank you for sharing...

Made 4 years ago from Finland Author

A.A. Zavala, it used to be more exciting when I was younger too. Maybe it's just an imagination for a dreamer like me to have these things happening to me. Why have a boring life when you you spice it up with some exciting, but innocent fantasies? Thank you for stopping by.
